Gear up for California’s Proposition 65 Regulations – Because Miscompliances Can Be Costly

Did you know that Proposition 65 will apply to nearly every business selling products in California? Officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, the new warning regulations for Proposition 65 will come into effect in California on August 30, 2018. Whether you’re a distributor, manufacturer or supplier, you must know how to comply with this complex regulation, because it can be costly if you don’t.

In this webinar, industry veteran Gregory Sperla will decode the not-so-straightforward Prop. 65 regulation by telling you which products are subject to the warning regulation, when they are subject to it, which product categories now have special warning provisions, and what steps retailers and suppliers should take to shift the burden of providing a warning. You will learn about the likely effect and overall risks of Prop. 65, get the inside knowledge of what companies are already doing to comply, and learn 5 no-nonsense tips for avoiding Prop. 65 litigation – along with practical lessons using real-life examples that both lawyers and non-lawyers will find useful.

After attending this information-packed webinar, you will clearly understand the compliance requirements under Prop. 65, learn how other companies are moving forward in this direction, and also know how to avoid litigation.
